Happy Anniversary

Tuesday, October 9th, 2007

Reminded by a friend/ex-coworker's blog post earlier, today is my one year anniversary at my current job. It's been a full year now, and looking back I can whole-heartedly say that my quality of life and the happiness that goes along with it has seen an immense improvement since I ...

It's How It Is

Tuesday, May 15th, 2007

Things have been going really well lately - I feel like I haven't had anything to bitch about for quite some time. My good friend and former co-worker Ryan is about to become my good friend and current co-worker Ryan. A few weeks ago, he accepted a job offer to come ...

This And That

Sunday, December 10th, 2006

So, it turns out that on Friday afternoon some guy walked into the office of a law firm roughly 4 blocks from where I work and gunned three people down. You would think that I'd have heard about it, at least via RSS news feeds, long before I got a ...

…So let it be done.

Tuesday, October 3rd, 2006

So much has happened in the past 2 weeks and I haven't really been writing about any of it. I am going to blame being busy, which I have been. So in the past 2 weeks (give or take a few days) I have attended 3 concerts, been to two Cubs ...

The March of the Penguins

Wednesday, August 9th, 2006

I've been out in Redwood Shores, CA at Oracle's campus for the past few days. On my way in, immediately after turning off the main road and onto "Oracle Pkwy.", I saw this sign: Stolen from Flickr, since I forgot to pack my camera. From the look of it, Tux has been ...

"Everything is scriptable. Yes, everything."-Damon Even my living room wall. ;) In my apartment, I have a big map of the United States mounted on corkboard with a bunch of push-pins stuck in it. Each push-pin represents a destination I've traveled to for work. Over the past 3 years, I have built ...

Nothing Rides Like a Rental

Monday, March 13th, 2006

I had another great set of travel experiences last week. Part 1: TSA, and Cruisin' the Strip Thursday I flew back home from New York. My flight was scheduled for 5:30pm and I got to the airport about an hour or so before that. As I checked in I found out that, ...

Roach Motel

Thursday, January 26th, 2006

I will preface this tale by saying that I am not the kind of person who tends to be overly critical of hotel accommodations. Yes, some are better than others but for the most part, it’s a difference that’s hardly worth complaining about. Besides, compared to my living situations in ...

Arizona, Pt. 1

Wednesday, September 28th, 2005

This week I am back in Phoenix, AZ, for one of our clients out here. Phoenix, along with San Diego (stay tuned, SD is coming up in about a month), is one of the cities I have been to multiple times that I could see myself living in at some ...

Hail the BART!

Friday, September 23rd, 2005

Just got back from a job in San Francisco. I liked the city. It was a little different than I expected, and had more of a European feel than any other major city I've been to in the US. Dave and I met up with Mike D. on Wednesday night ...
